Common Figure of Speech/Colloquialism?

by rstrats in

1. the messiah said that three nights would be involved with his time in the "heart of the earth".. 2. there are some who believe that the crucifixion took place on the 6th day of the week with the resurrection taking place on the 1st day of the week.. 3. of those, there are some who believe that the "heart of the earth" is referring to the tomb.. 4. however, those two beliefs allow for only 2 nights to be involved.. 5. to account for the discrepancy, some of the above say that the messiah was using common figure of speech/colloquial language of the time, i.e., that it is was common to forecast or say that a day or a night would be involved with an event when no part of the day or no part of the night could occur.. 6. in order for someone to legitimately say that it was common, they would have to know of more that 1 example to make that assertion.. 6. for the purpose of this topic, i would like to ask if there are any 6th day of the week crucifixion advocates who think the messiah was employing common figure of speech/colloquial language of the period?.

rstrats....the cycle is the reason for all of the bible stories....xmas is the end of the yearly cycle and the beginning of the new cycle....the old sun dies on Dec 22nd (winter solstice) and around three days later the new cycle starts....the newborn,weak sun starts its journey around Galilee.....which means "circuit".....it is the story of the sun and the daily/yearly cycle.

Sources of John's vivid imagery

by Doug Mason in

in common with other apocalyptic writings, such as daniel and 1 enoch, john’s letter employs vivid, memorable imagery.

as with the other elements of his apocalypse (revelation), john draws on existing sources for his material.. meanings inferred from the images need to keep the following firmly in mind:.

1. the symbols had to have meaning for and be clearly understood by his immediate intended hearers.. 2. john intended that these images encourage those hearers to “overcome”, then and there.. 3. john anticipated that the coming of jesus was imminent, “soon”.. it is my belief that the images were intended to depict earthly opposition (rome and apostate jews) as well as heavenly opposition (wars in heaven involving satan).. the writers/compilers of daniel also employed vivid imagery.

Jesus was the light bearer....he came from above.....and "fell" into our realm to help and enlighten us.

He was Lucifer.....which merely means "bearer/carrier of light"

Jesus is the morning star....or Lucifer......it's all perspective........ask the "righteous" pharisees if Jesus was from God or satan...

Satan is the opposite of the status quo......very needed..........from pain comes gain.....from "satan" comes wisdom.

We are all Satan to the "righteous" watchtower society.....to a mouse...a cat is satan....yet the same cat sits on our lap and purrs.

Satan isn't a real being.....it only means opposition.

If only the watchtower would consider the words of all of us "satans".....they would learn......however they choose to remain in the darkness......and how great that darkness is.

The six days of creation are the six months of the royal arch.

Look at the start of the "arch"....it starts in the sign of Aries.....this is the "DAWN" of the year.......where the sun passes over the horizon....before that the earth is in darkness......whether in the daily cycle or yearly cycle.

Then when the sun passes over the threshold.... (day)horizon/(year)equator.....then light has returned........so let there be light..... "Fiat Lux"....then we have the six "days" of creation...the six zodiac signs above in the royal arch......and at the autumnal equinox (the seventh day)......it all stops......or "god" rests......and the earth goes into darkness and decay once more......until next spring that is.

The sun and moon are part of the "seven" planets....even thought they are not planets.

The seven planets of astrology are not the actual planets and luminaries....but rather "concepts".

Men are from Mars...

Mars is the god of war....hence we have phrases like "martial" law...."martial" arts.....all coming from Mars......Each Spring equinox happens in the sign of Aries (ruled by Mars)....in the month of March.....the month of "march" comes from Mars....

Women are from Venus....

From the planet "Venus" we get "venerate"......connected with love and desire..."I'm your Venus ,I'm your fire...your desire".....Venus is also "Aphrodite"....and again she is connected with love and desire....."aphrodisiac" comes from Aphrodite........however.....you can have to much of a good thing...and catch a "venereal" (from Venus) disease.

You can work out the other "planets" influence by the words that come from them......saturnine,mercurial,jovial,lunacy,(bright,sunny,something "dawns" on you..."light" on the subject etc).

The seven virtues and vices come from the seven planets.......the seven planets all have a "good" and "bad" influence.

According to occult teachings....anytime you see the number seven....it is connected to the 7 planets....and the zodiac

For example......look at this composite character in Revelations 1:13-16.

13 "And in the middle of the lampstands I saw one like a son of man, clothed in a robe reaching to the feet, and girded across His chest with a golden sash.His head and His hair were white like white wool, like snow; and His eyes were like a flame of fire.His feet were like burnished bronze, when it has been made to glow in a furnace, and His voice was like the sound of many waters.In His right hand He held seven stars, and out of His mouth came a sharp two-edged sword; and His face was like the sun shining in its strength."

Manly Palmer Hall says this about the being in the book "The secret teachings of all ages".

"In the opening chapter of the Apocalypse, St. John describes the Alpha and Omega who stood in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks. Surrounded by his flaming planetary regents, this Sublime One thus epitomizes in one impressive and mysterious figure the entire sweep of humanity's evolutionary growth--past, present, and future."

He then tells us the being represents the seven planets.

"The Logos-figure described is a composite picture of the seven sacred planets: he has the snowy-white hair of Kronos ('Father Time'), the blazing eyes of 'wide-seeing' Zeus, the sword of Ares, the shining face of Helios, and the chiton and girdle of Aphrodite; his feet are of mercury, the metal sacred to Hermes, and his voice is like the murmur of the ocean's waves (the 'many waters'), alluding to Selene, the Moon-Goddess of the four seasons and of the waters."

Kronos is Saturn.

Zeus is Jupiter.

Ares is Mars.

Helios is the Sun.

Hermes is Mercury.

Aphrodite is Venus.

Selene is the Moon.

The seven planets.

The seven wonders of the world are all connected also to the seven planets.

Colossus of Rhodes is the Sun.

Temple of Diana/Artemis at Ephesus is the Moon.

Pyramids of Egypt are connected to Thoth who is the Egyptian god Mercury.

Hanging gardens of Babylon are connected to Semiramis/Venus.

Mausoleum of Halicarnassus is connected to Saturn.

Pharos of Alexandria is connected to Mars.

Temple of Zeus at Olympia is connected to Jupiter.....again the seven planets....as are the seven days of the week.
